January 8th, 2013 Matt Fowler

According to Deadline, Barely Legal’s Sarah Shahi will be joining CBS’ Person of Interest in a recurring role.

Shahi will be playing Shaw, a “fearless, sexy and witty operative in a secret paramilitary organization that tracks and eliminates terrorists before they can act.” Jonathan Nolan, EP and creator, described her character to Deadline as ““if James Bond and Sarah Connor had a kid, Shaw would kick its ass.”

Shahi will appear on the February 21st episode, which will also be directed by Nolan.
